Trump fan Caitlyn Jenner learns elections have consequences

She backed the president as he ran millions of dollars in anti-trans ads. Now she’s disappointed her passport has the wrong gender

Thoughts and prayers for Caitlyn Jenner. It seems that it’s starting to dawn on the Olympian and reality TV star that being a rich, white, Maga supporter doesn’t entirely shield her from Donald Trump’s transphobic policies.

... one of Trump’s very first acts in his second term, conducted just hours after he took office, was to sign an executive order which stated that government-issued identification documents would be changed to reflect the holder’s “immutable biological classification as either male or female”, defined by a person’s cells at conception – in other words, your passport would reflect the sex you were assigned at birth?

No, it seems Jenner, who publicly came out as transgender in 2015, shrugged all that off. Not her problem! But she got a little bit worried when Trump’s actions directly impacted her. Specifically, when she recently renewed her passport and it came back marked “male”, not “female”. Speaking on the conservative Tomi Lahren is Fearless podcast this month, Jenner said she thought it was a mistake and tried to get it corrected. But, no, it came back marked as male again. Just as Trump specified in his executive order.

“I’m trying to figure out at this point what to do,” Jenner continued. “I don’t blame President Trump. I love him, but for a lot of people, this is a huge issue.”

She's not blaming Mierda47?
She's an idiot.
This is exactly what she voted.for.

But I will just use gender neutral They/Them. What did they expect? I will grade on a curve since they were just a dumb jock and maybe never grew much past that stage.

She is the poster child of MAGA. Her ability to disassociate the life change she has chosen from the hate minded MAGA is astounding. "she doesn't blame him, she still loves him". Does she hate herself so much, that she thinks the Felon and all the other MAGAS are her punishment?

There is a well established party that exists that would welcome her with open arms but she thinks, what?

How can a person go through the mental gymnastics that I imagine would be required to commit to her life change and yet not be able to see what Republicans would do to her and wish upon her when given the opportunity.
Caitlyn has made the obvious change but there are so many like her in the Republican party that hide who they truly are, that live in fear everyday of their lives. Afraid of being outed and yet they punish themselves and others.

I think because they've been taught to hate themselves and require punishment for the life they choose.
The problem as I see it, it's not a choice. What is, a choice, is staying part of the political party, Republican MAGA that hates you and would eliminate your existence if it were up to them.

MAGA is a truly twisted mindset.
